-112

1) To solve this expression, let's focus on the order of operations:


8-6\cdot4\cdot10\colon2

2) According to the PEMDAS order, we have:

P ower

E exponent

M multiplication

D division

A addition

S subtraction

So we can solve this way:


\begin{gathered} 8-(6\cdot4\cdot(10)/(2)) \\ 8-(24\cdot5) \\ 8-120 \\ -112 \end{gathered}

Note that we've placed a parenthesis inside just to better visualize it. Since there is a product and a division, we'll start with that.

3) Hence, the answer is -112
